Regarding Integrated Code

Running the following generated code or your entire functions.php file through a .PHP validator will decrease the risk of a crash, but it will not catch everything. For more information on .PHP validation, refer to https://phpcodechecker.com/

This integration tool is provided as-is to assist with the setup of integrating Gravity Forms, but this may run into complications due to the configuration within Gravity Forms. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • A non-standard Gravity Forms configuration
  • Other plugins that interfere
  • Additional parameters outside of SharpSpring's control

If native form code has been placed on the page already, it should be removed. This .PHP code replaces its function.


Generating Form Codes

To integrate Gravity Forms, you will need access to your SharpSpring and Wordpress accounts. Also, you must be using Gravity Forms on your site in order for this integration to work. For developer instructions, refer to: For Developers: Integrating Gravity Forms. To obtain a form code from Gravity Forms, do the following: 

  1. In a browser tab, create or open a Gravity Form.
  2. Obtain the Gravity Form's identification number.
  3. In another browser tab, log in to SharpSpring.

  13. Place the generated code snippet obtained above into the functions.php file within your WordPress theme editor.
    
 
Note: Field labels should not contain special characters or accented numbers. Labels should contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space, dash, and underscore only. Also, field names here do not need to match the field names within Gravity Forms.
